Do you feel like you’ve been at war with your body for as long as you can remember? Weight stigma and years of believing something is “wrong” with you can leave deep scars. If you’re using a GLP-1 medication, you may be facing new challenges—grieving old coping mechanisms, feeling lost without cravings, or unsure how to live in this “new” body. I specialize in supporting lifelong struggles with weight, shame, and body image. You are not broken. Together, we’ll create a safe space to heal, unlearn harmful stories, and build a compassionate relationship with yourself.

Waitlist for new clients
People living with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and complex PTSD are often misunderstood. Many of my clients come to therapy carrying the weight of trauma, stigma, shame, and feeling like they have to hide parts of themselves just to be accepted. You don't have to do that here. I'm deeply passionate about supporting people with BPD and helping change the way it is understood. I believe that every behaviour makes sense in the context of a person's experiences, and that healing begins when we move away from asking, "What's wrong with you?" and start asking, "What happened to you?"

I know how difficult it can feel to be human some days. When painful thoughts and emotions take over- it can feel impossible to find a way forward. You get stuck fighting with and blaming yourself for feeling this way. Relationships can suffer, and it's hard to connect with what really matters. You don't have to do this alone —and humans aren't made to. It takes courage to seek support. As painful as these feelings might be, with the right support and guidance, they can also become a doorway to personal growth. Together, we'll slow down, tend to what feels heavy, and find what is needed for deeper healing.
